They need to repeat the EMG. Two years is too long, especially if your symptoms have changed.

I too have lost weight (25lbs) over the past two years. I can't gain weight.

Oddly enough a cancellation happened with a neurologist I was looking to see for a consult yesterday. I have a scheduled EMG now, though a ways out.

A step amongst the stairs.

Personally, I don't see how an EMG is going to move you any closer to healing your condition. If you are seeing a mainstream doctor (MD), he will still not have any solution, regardless of the outcome. Can you not drink decaf coffee & green tea? That's what I drink mostly. I know more water would be better.

Ron,

I want to see if the readings are worse. If not, well it is something else perhaps. I know that even having my sugar under control I can end up having flare ups. The issue is that while my overall health is leaps and bounds better I have weakness, discomfort and pain at levels that exceed where I was last November when I really took the bull by the horns and became more proactive.

I get your point- one neurologist flat out said "we know you have neuropathy, there is nothing to be gained from an EMG." I understand it is limited information from the test, but I am burning through time off at work right now when I am so rigid I can't imagine sitting all day. My office routine has my cubicle divided so I move from computer to writing desk through out the day. I have duties sprinkled throughout every hour to force movement.

I am constantly working to make my day better with smart usage of time and I adjust accordingly to bad results. I think continuing on my diet/supplement/exercise/medication path is a positive work in progress. I feel a strong need to know "how much worse." It won't stop my approach, but it may help my focus.
